Ritz , Paris, France
The best hotel in Paris is back.

Several of its suites are named in honour of its famous guests, including Coco Chanel, Ernest Hemingway and Chopin. Not to mention the royalty. We have spent some nights after the recent total renovation and we enjoyed everything in our glamourous high ceiling suite. The short walking distance to the fashion boutiques at Rue Saint-Honoré is also enjoyable. ( Suites From US$ 3,700/Night )
The Chedi , Andermatt, Switzerland
The best hotel in Switzerland. Yet not very popular among the massive tourism, this place holds one of the most well elaborated modern achitecture we´ve ever seen, using the finest finishing in every square meter of walls and floors.

The brand Cheval Blanc, (originally from the wine market and now owned by LVMH group ) is growing fast and creating its own personality, that mixes the antagonic world of luxury and the world of modernity. Our Junior Suite had a surprasing in-room Hamman At this point we must say that the rooms and the Spa ( by Dior) have perfectly matched both worlds creating a wonderful atmosphere. But not at the entrance hall. It ended up looking some steps below the super fancy Paris Hotels. in our vision.

Four Seasons London at Parklane, Uk
A super luxury hotel in London, having in mind that there are no super fancy hotels in London, like the Parisian ones. Not as good as the Dorchester as well. The architecture and the decoration are the finest possible as well as the location at the Parklane, but the hotel staff was the highest point. One of the best we´ve ever tried.

The huge building in Brickel Ave. used to be the city´s tallest. The address is perfect for a cosmopolitan Miami experience.

The rooftop swimming pool is probably the best in Downtown Miami. Check our pictures. (From US$ 780/night)

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore
This landmark hotel in Singapore Marina region, despite its 80´s concrete look is still one of the best in town.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
More than a 5-star hotel, this bold architecture building with its famous rooftop infinite swimming pool settled on the 57th floor platform is one of Singapore´s main attractions. Only the hotel guests may enter the super restricted pool area. Actually the stunning pool is the true reason for most of the guests to pay the high hotel rates.

The hotel complex includes a Casino and a wonderful Shopping complex, but the hotel lobby is a public area, crowded with non-guest tourists, something we disliked ( Rooms from US$ 500/Night )
